Answer:

The coefficient of the squared term of the equation is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the vertex of the parabola is at (-2, -3). We also know that when the <em>y-</em>value is -2, the <em>x-</em>value is -5. Using this information we want to find the cofficient of the squared term in the parabola's equation.

Since we are given the vertex, we can use the vertex form:

\displaystyle y=a(x-h)^2+k

Where <em>a</em> is the leading coefficient and (<em>h, k</em>) is the vertex.

Since the vertex is (-2, -3), <em>h</em> = -2 and <em>k</em> = -3:

\displaystyle y=a(x-(-2))^2+(-3)

Simplify:

y=a(x+2)^2-3

We are also given that <em>y</em> = -2 when <em>x</em> = -5. Substitute:

(-2)=a(-5+2)^2-3

Solve for <em>a</em>. Simplify:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} -2&=a(-3)^2-3\\ 1&=9a \\a&=\frac{1}{9}\end{aligned}

Therefore, our full vertex equation is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{9}(x+2)^2-3

We can expand:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{9}(x^2+4x+4)-3

Simplify:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{9}x^2+\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{23}{9}

The coefficient of the squared term of the equation is 1/9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other

DP = IP

7x - 8 = 3x

7x       = 3x + 8

7x - 3x = 8

      4x = 8

       x = 8/4

     x = 2

NP = YP

3y = 7x - 2

3y = 7*2 - 2

3y = 14 - 2

3y = 12

y = 12/3

y = 4

if 4 times a number is increased by 6, the result is less than 15 than the square of the number. find the number​
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

n = 7

n = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

4n+6 = n²-15

4n = n² - 21

n² - 4n - 21 = 0

(n-7)(n+3) = 0

n = 7

n = -3
